8. Make them all the same size, thirteen metres long and two metres wide.

9. Sew five of them together in one set, and the other six in another set. Fold the sixth piece double over the front of the Tent.

10. Put fifty loops on the edge of the last piece of one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the other set.

11. Make fifty bronze hooks and put them in the loops to join the two sets so as to form one cover.
